Pope Benedict signals trip to United States in 2015By Dan Gilgoff, CNN.com Religion Editor (CNN) - Pope Benedict XVI signaled on Sunday that he planned to visit the United States in 2015, announcing a major Roman Catholic Church meeting in Philadelphia, which is now hosting a high-profile church sex abuse trial. Benedict, whose sole trip to the U.S. as pope came in 2008, announced that Philadelphia would be the site of 2015’s Catholic World Meeting of Families. "I send my warm greetings to (Philadelphia) Archbishop Charles Chaput," the pope said, "and to the Catholics of that great city, and look forward to meeting them there along with numerous families from all around the world.”
But the church seemed to stop short of guaranteeing the 85-year-old’s pope attendance at the Philadelphia meeting. CNN’s Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories The Archdiocese of Philadelphia, for instance, did not mention the pope’s attendance in its announcement of the World Meeting of Families, saying instead that it is “customarily attended by the Holy Father.” On Friday, a Philadelphia jury began deliberating in the landmark trial of Monsignor William Lynn, the highest-ranking cleric to be charged with endangering children by allegedly helping cover up sexual abuse, a case that has made national headlines. Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter The church's World Meeting of Families happens every three years. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia says the meetings are intended to “strengthen and defend the sacred bonds of marriage and family across the globe.” |

Pope Clement VII, the Roman Catholic Pope at the time, excommunicated Henry VIII. At that time, there was no iepedendnnt Church of England, just the Roman Catholic Church, to which England belonged. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who was the highest Church official in England, was still under the Pope of Rome, as are all bishops of the Roman Catholic Church. There was no Pope of England , ever. The Church in England before the excommunication of Henry VIII was the Roman Catholic Church. Check Wikipedia for more info, try Henry VIII or something.
Trolling on CNN is the favorite pastime of idiots it seems....

For you.
A thought to consider without a typical ego response
Accept Jesus christ as your lord and saviour. You never know how soon is too late. Transcend the worldly illusion of enslavement.
The world denounces truth....
Accepting Jesus Christ (for me) resulted in something like seeng a new colour. You will see it .....but will not be able to clearly explain it to anyone else..... Its meant to be that way to transend any selfism within you.
Also... much the world arranges "surrounding dark matter into something to be debated" in such a way that protects/inflates the ego.
The key is be present and transcend our own desire to physically see evidence. We don't know anyways by defending our own perception of dark matter.
Currently.... most of us are constructing our own path that suits our sin lifestyle. Were all sinners. Knowing that we are is often an issue. But both christians and non are sinners.
We don't like to Let go and let god. We want control to some degree. This is what Jesus asks us to do. "Follow me".
It's the hardest thing to do... but is done by letting the truth of scripture lead you (redemptive revelation)... as I said .
Try reading corinthians and see if it makes sense to you. Try it without a pre conceived notion of it being a fairy tale.
See the truth...
do we do what it says in todays society... is it relevant... so many have not recently read and only hinge their philosophy on what they have heard from som other person...which may have been full of arogance pride or vanity..
Look closely at the economy ponzi, look at how society idolizes Lust , greed , envy, sloth, pride of life, desire for knowledge, desire for power, desire for revencge,gluttony with food etc .
Trancsend the temporal world.
Just think if you can find any truth you can take with you ....in any of these things. When you die your riches go to someone who will spend away your life..... You will be forgotten.... history will repeat iteslf.... the greatest minds knowledge fade or are eventually plagerzed..... your good deeds will be forgotten and only give you a fleeting temporary reward . your learned teachings are forgotten or mutated..... your gold is transfered back to the rullers that rule you through deception. Your grave will grow over . This is truth .
Trancsend your egoism and free yourself from this dominion of satan. Understand you are a sinner and part of the collective problem of this worldly matrix... Repent.... Repent means knowing (to change) The Holy spirit (within) will convict you beyond what you think you can do by yourself. Grace is given to those who renounce the world. That are" in" the world but not "of " the world.
Evidence follows faith. Faith does not follow evidence..... Faith above reason in Jesus Christ.
Faith comes by Reading or Hearing the word of god from the bible . Ask Jesus in faith for dicernment and start reading the new testament... You will be shocked when you lay down your preconceived notions and ....see and hear truth ... see how christ sets an example ... feel the truth....
Read Ecclesiastes. Read corinthians.
You cant trancend your own egoism by adapting a world philosophy to suit your needs. Seek the truth in Christ.
Sell all your cleverness and purchase true bewilderment. You don't get what you want ....you get what you are in christ.
I promise this has been the truth for me. In Jesus christ .
Think of what you really have to lose. ...your ego?
Break the Matrix of illusion that holds your senses captive.
once you do . you too will have the wisdom of God that comes only through the Holy Spirit. Saved By grace through Faith. Just like seeing a new colour.... can't explain it to a transient caught in the matrix of worldly deception.
You will also see how the world suppresses this information and distorts it
You're all smart people . I tell the truth. Its hard to think out of the box when earthly thinking is the box.
I'ts a personal free experience you can do it free anytime . Don't wait till you are about to die.. START PUTTING YOUR TREASURES WHERE THEY REALLY MATTER >
Its awsome and It's just between you and Jesus
my testimony
hit report abuse...spamming
Will there be a RCC in 2015?

Recognizing the flaws, follies and frauds in the foundations of Islam, Judaism and Christianity, the "bowers", kneelers" and "pew peasants" are converging these religions into some simple rules of life. No pope, koran, bible, clerics, nuns, monks, imams, evangelicals, ayatollahs, rabbis, professors of religion or priests needed or desired.

Your posts reek of ego so the rest of it is moot, especially since you keep posting this garbage over and over again. LOL!

The Apostles' Creed 2012 (updated by yours truly based on the studies of NT historians and theologians of the past 200 years)
Should I believe in a god whose existence cannot be proven
and said god if he/she/it exists resides in an unproven,
human-created, spirit state of bliss called heaven?????
I believe there was a 1st century CE, Jewish, simple,
preacher-man who was conceived by a Jewish carpenter
named Joseph living in Nazareth and born of a young Jewish
girl named Mary. (Some say he was a mamzer.)
Jesus was summarily crucified for being a temple rabble-rouser by
the Roman troops in Jerusalem serving under Pontius Pilate,
He was buried in an unmarked grave and still lies
a-mouldering in the ground somewhere outside of
Jerusalem.
Said Jesus' story was embellished and "mythicized" by
many semi-fiction writers. A bodily resurrection and
ascension stories were promulgated to compete with the
Caesar myths. Said stories were so popular that they
grew into a religion known today as Catholicism/Christianity
and featuring dark-age, daily wine to blood and bread to body rituals
called the eucharistic sacrifice of the non-atoning Jesus.
Amen

The Pope is only infallible on matters of Faith and Morals and then only under specific conditions. Your words are ignorant, not factual. Learn something about what you want to condemn before doing so, otherwise you just sound foolish and no one will be convinced.
For more than 1,000 years, Papal infallibility didn't exist.
The first Pope to recognize the doctrine was Jonh XXII in 1324 in his Bull.
He quite vehemently DENIED that he, or any other Popes, were infallible. He called the idea "pernicious novelty", inspired by the 'Father of lies'.
The pope is infallible on nothing. He is the head of a huge corporation worth billions and billions of $ and will say and do what is necessary to protect that business.
The Pope is against Jesus and God (This might make him anti someting or another). The Teachings our Father Taught through Jesus was Repentance. This is reiterated through the Gospels. Sin is a deviation from the ONLY way through to our Father (God) which is Jesus who is The Way (Repentance), The Truth, and The Life. By factual definition, error, mistakes, and deceptions are deviations from The Truth. Repentance means turn to a pattern of behavior of correcting your sins which are deviations from The Way, The Truth, and The Life . A Catholic dogma states that the Pope is Infallible and uses deceptive semantics with the word impeccability stating that sin and error (a deviation from truth) are different. This Papal Infallibility is not true which makes it a deviation from The Truth, a deviation from Jesus, and a deviation from our Father (God). It also is a major obstacle for the Pope to practice what Jesus taught: Repentance. It becomes very difficult to correct your deviations from The Way, The Truth, and The Life when you think that you are infallible and protected from erorr or mistakes.
You cannot argue this based on opinion. My words here are factual.
"You cannot argue this based on opinion. My words here are factual."
There is nothing factual here.
